Speaker 1: Good morning Kentucky, Na welcome in. It is Kentucky and
Speaker 1: his morning news here on News Radio eight forty whas
Speaker 1: Nick coffee with you, John Alden alongside, and if you
Speaker 1: are just now joining us, welcome Happy Thursday. So I
Speaker 1: hesitated earlier to use the words celebrating because it just
Speaker 1: seems as if the root of the entire thing is
Speaker 1: a tragedy and just an awful thing. Where Crystal Rogers
Speaker 1: was murdered ten years go by, still no body, nobody knows,
Speaker 1: there's no real closure as far as what happened to her,
Speaker 1: but there was justice and that was something that people
Speaker 1: were celebrating in Barchtown and in a big way. I
Speaker 1: mean I talked about that a lot yesterday. I had
Speaker 1: no clue that they actually had a parade, but it
Speaker 1: makes sense just because it's a big day for not
Speaker 1: only the Rogers family but the community. However, it's not over,
Speaker 1: and as far as what actually comes from this, tough
Speaker 1: to say, but if I had to guess, it would
Speaker 1: probably be something that involves Nick Hawk, given the fact
Speaker 1: that he and his mother Rosemary, have been listed during
Speaker 1: the trial as unindicted co conspirators. But when you hear
Speaker 1: the folks that were a part of this, rather be
Speaker 1: detectives or prosecutors when they were talking to the media
Speaker 1: after the sentence took place earlier this week. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't think of the exact words that we're used.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to pull it up here, but I mean
Speaker 1: to say that, you know, they're not in a sense
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing, but to basically say that it's not over
Speaker 1: yet and there's more coming something along those lines. I
Speaker 1: don't think you say that without knowing that there's going
Speaker 1: to be action taking place from law enforcement to hold
Speaker 1: others accountable for this. So it's a weird feeling to
Speaker 1: where you're happy for Bargetown and just them getting a
Speaker 1: step closer to getting this behind them, and it not
Speaker 1: being something that people think of at first when they
Speaker 1: think of Bargetown. But again, it all came from just
Speaker 1: an awful and sad situation with Chris Rogers family and
Speaker 1: obviously her losing her life, all right. So the suspect,
Speaker 1: Lea Bradford Ward. He is the thirty five year old
Speaker 1: man who Shyvely police have been looking for after he
Speaker 1: is accused of shooting two young women earlier this week
Speaker 1: and as of now, he is still at large, and
Speaker 1: Shavally ped had to come out and let people know
Speaker 1: that despite what you might have seen on Facebook, he
Speaker 1: is still not in custody and he is considered armed
Speaker 1: and dangerous. So I guess rumors began circulating on Facebook
Speaker 1: that he was taken into custod d and I guess
Speaker 1: they saw that getting a lot of shares and picking
Speaker 1: up traffic on Facebook, and the sergeant Jordan Brown had
Speaker 1: had to address it saying he's not been arrested and
Speaker 1: he's still at large, and just a reminder that he
Speaker 1: didn't say this, but I'm sure, I mean, we all
Speaker 1: need a reminder don't believe everything you see on the Internet.
Speaker 1: Because of all the platforms out there when it comes
Speaker 1: to misinformation, I feel like Facebook's the absolute worst because
Speaker 1: there's so much of it and people that like I know,
Speaker 1: and I will say, Facebook's probably the platform where you
Speaker 1: end up seeing content. Whatever Facebook has with statuses and
Speaker 1: links and pictures, videos, that kind of stuff, it's people
Speaker 1: that you know for the most part, right, So, like,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised people I know that I wouldn't assume are
Speaker 1: this gullible or sharing things that quite literally came from
Speaker 1: a source that just by the eyeball test, it's not real. Now, John,
Speaker 1: you're younger than me, you're not on Facebook quite as
Speaker 1: much as I am. But have you ever seen some
Speaker 1: of these things that people share that you can just
Speaker 1: look at it and know that that's not real. And
Speaker 1: there's thousands of shares.
Speaker 2: There's groups that I'll share things too, for my Indiana
Speaker 2: Sports podcast that are not trying to plug it or anything,
Speaker 2: but like there's in those groups specifically, there's usually a
Speaker 2: bunch of nonsense in there and it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And I just I'm saddened by those who who don't
Speaker 1: have the radar. It's it's one thing to fall for,
Speaker 1: like a well orchestra. It's scam, but look at where
Speaker 1: it's coming from before you share it. Read it the
Speaker 1: actual article if there is one, before you share it,
Speaker 1: before you just assume it's real. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: It amazes me. And again, Facebook's the worst because I
Speaker 1: think there's so much of it. But again, if you
Speaker 1: look at like you could easily create a Facebook is
Speaker 1: still very much intended for personal use. There are pages
Speaker 1: right every social like there's a Facebook page for companies, entertainers,
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and there's ways in which you
Speaker 1: go about doing that and make it clear that you
Speaker 1: are legit and you are real. But these pages that
Speaker 1: just pop up that are that are brand new, created
Speaker 1: yesterday and they got one link and it's to a
Speaker 1: story that just reading it the headline makes it seem
Speaker 1: not believable, like that's that's a clear sign that it's
Speaker 1: not real. So again yesterday, Shabby police had to let
Speaker 1: people know, despite what was being shared on social media,
Speaker 1: the suspect is still not not in custody and he's
Speaker 1: considered armed in dangerous. But there are other examples of
Speaker 1: law enforcement having to get out and utilize resources because
Speaker 1: they realized that something has just been made up and
Speaker 1: it's picked up enough steam and people are running with it.
Speaker 1: I mean an example, in twenty twenty three, there was
Speaker 1: something that ended up generating thousands upon thousands of shares
Speaker 1: on Facebook called Purge Night in Chicago, and it was
Speaker 1: a fabricated post that circulated claiming that the Chicago Police
Speaker 1: Department they were just not going to respond to crime
Speaker 1: and they were going to, I guess take a stand
Speaker 1: to say that they need more help, and I don't
Speaker 1: know anything about what was going on at that time
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Clearly it's a violent city, but like that's
Speaker 1: first of all, it's not believable. But they had to
Speaker 1: get out and say like, hey, not only do you
Speaker 1: need to know that you're not in danger to the
Speaker 1: level you might think you are, but also don't go
Speaker 1: try to commit crime thinking we're not enforcing the law.
Speaker 3: We are.
Speaker 1: And like, just the thought of law enforcement having to
Speaker 1: do that is wild to me. But I don't think
Speaker 1: we're far and it may already exist in some places
Speaker 1: where there are dedicated departments within law enforcement agencies that
Speaker 1: their only jobs and duty is to handle misinformation that's
Speaker 1: out there because it's rampant and some people are just
Speaker 1: too gullible and sometimes though it's easy to get god,
Speaker 1: so just be mindful of that. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: a quick time out. We'll come back after we get
Speaker 1: an update on traffic and weather, and then coming up
Speaker 1: at eight thirty, we'll be joined by Rory O'Neil and
Speaker 1: he will give us the latest on a variety of things,
Speaker 1: including the situation down in Texas with the floods, as
Speaker 1: they're still looking for many people on accounted for, and
Speaker 1: the death toll continues to rise unfortunately, So we'll get
Speaker 1: to that in more. Stick with us right here on
Speaker 1: News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 3: It is eight.
Speaker 1: Seventeen here Kentucky and this morning news on News Radio
Speaker 1: eight forty whas Nick Coffee. That's me John on alongside.
Speaker 1: We've got another update of sports coming your way here shortly.
Speaker 1: Also another news update with John Shannon, and I do
Speaker 1: want to let you know once again, if you want
Speaker 1: to help out those that are in need of help
Speaker 1: in Texas because of the tragic situation with the flood,
Speaker 1: you can do it. Go to Community Foundation dot net.
Speaker 1: That is where you need to go to make sure
Speaker 1: that you are donating and your donation will go where
Speaker 1: it needs to go. So the Community Foundation of Texas
Speaker 1: Hill Country has launched the Kerk County Flood Relief Fund
Speaker 1: to support response, relief and of course long term recovery efforts.
Speaker 1: And we hear at iHeart are letting everybody know throughout
Speaker 1: the entire day today and probably throughout the rest of
Speaker 1: the week that if you want to help, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure a lot of people do, community Foundation dot net
Speaker 1: is where you should go, all right, So this is
Speaker 1: something that I can't relate to, but it also got
Speaker 1: my attention. So there are some with the iPhone that
Speaker 1: use FaceTime, and they don't use it for the way
Speaker 1: in which a lot of people use FaceTime. They do it,
Speaker 1: I guess for phone sex. I mean, can you call
Speaker 1: it phone sex? You're using a phone so yeah, but
Speaker 1: like it's you know, I don't know, I was gonna
Speaker 1: go down a path I probably shouldn't go down. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: if you are somebody that does that, maybe you're in
Speaker 1: a long distance relationship and that's the best you can do. Now,
Speaker 1: your phone may freeze when that's happening, because Apple now
Speaker 1: has quietly rolled out a new feature that is basically
Speaker 1: pausing what they're picking up, which is potential nudity on screen,
Speaker 1: and it's a warning message that says audio and video
Speaker 1: or pause because you might be showing something sensitive. And
Speaker 1: users are then given too options in the call or
Speaker 1: continue anyway via the on screen buttons that are there.
Speaker 1: So just be mindful. If you were somebody that is
Speaker 1: going to be updating to the new iOS twenty six
Speaker 1: software and you are an active phone sex have via FaceTime,
Speaker 1: you might have some interruption and look, you can quickly
Speaker 1: bypass it, but come on, let's be real, that could
Speaker 1: totally kill the moment, right, some shit really will I
Speaker 1: mean you got to it could totally kill the moment.
Speaker 1: I mean, and then you don't know, like maybe maybe
Speaker 1: the screen ends up in a situation where you're not
Speaker 1: showing something sensitive and it's more of an audio thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I again, I can't relate when it
Speaker 1: comes to that, but I'm sure not all times on
Speaker 1: screen is nudity being shown. And if every ten minutes
Speaker 1: or every three minutes, you know, something ends up on
Speaker 1: the screen that is in fact nudity, are they prompting
Speaker 1: you every time? Like, I don't know how you. I mean,
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to execute a good phone sex session
Speaker 1: if Apple's popping up every now and then to warn you.
Speaker 1: So just be mindful of that. John, you're an android guy.
Speaker 1: Do they have something like FaceTime?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: If they do, I don't utilize it, And I don't think.
Speaker 1: That may be the only thing I can think of,
Speaker 1: because I look, I'm very much an iPhone guy, but
Speaker 1: I will acknowledge it's just because it's what I've always
Speaker 1: had and it's become a preference. The phones quite literally
Speaker 1: for the most part, can do everything the same. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, But I will say I'll give
Speaker 1: a plus one point to Android if they don't have FaceTime,
Speaker 1: because FaceTime it's certainly useful in certain instances like phone sex,
Speaker 1: I suppose, with a visual component to it, and whenever
Speaker 1: I'm traveling, facetiming my kids, like they FaceTime me on
Speaker 1: my birthday during the commercial break earlier this week, and
Speaker 1: that was that was awesome to see. But also, you know,
Speaker 1: there are now people that just communicate via FaceTime, like
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. Not only do I not want
Speaker 1: you to call me, I'd rather you text me, but
Speaker 1: if you FaceTime me, I'm insulted. So anyways, I'm not
Speaker 1: a big FaceTime guy, but certainly there are there are
Speaker 1: there are moments where it is useful. But we got
Speaker 1: a run update on traving weather coming your way. Also
Speaker 1: we'll get a update on sports with Scott Fitstreild right
Speaker 1: here on news Raadiway forty whs. It is eight forty
Speaker 1: six here a Kentucky had his morning news news radio
Speaker 1: waight forty whas we have just a few minutes left
Speaker 1: and then it'll be the fellas Tony and Dwight set
Speaker 1: to take over. So so, now, Tony, I think you
Speaker 1: would agree. When it comes to sporting events in Louisville
Speaker 1: that are big events, we do pretty well. You may
Speaker 1: not see a full crowd at the Young Center when
Speaker 1: Louisville's playing Popcorn State on a Tuesday in November, but
Speaker 1: we do big events.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: Is this golf event going on, the Cisco golf event
Speaker 1: at their country club to that classify as a big event?
Speaker 4: Just real quick?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: If Popcorn State comes in to play this year, can
Speaker 4: we see about making them Kentucky colonels.
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: And I couldn't help himself. That's well done.
Speaker 3: And it's not it's not Cisco, it's Isco.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, Okay, yeah, go Apologiessco is the largest
Speaker 1: irrigation company in the world based here in Louisville, started
Speaker 1: here by a family. And I'm embarrassed because I know
Speaker 1: I have three close friends.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: When Popcorn and State came to Louisville, they were a maze.
Speaker 3: Maze put a dollar in, put a dollar in, not
Speaker 3: even nine o'clock. It's not even nine.
Speaker 1: He's just get him out of the way before no headlining.
Speaker 4: It was a little corny.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you watch the local sports guys, they'll'll it's
Speaker 3: basically the samee X Invitational. Thank you for the coverage
Speaker 3: of all the sat X guys uh that are playing
Speaker 3: in it. But she's kind of as we'll just let
Speaker 3: terry no kidding. But it is a big deal because
Speaker 3: i'sco is a local company that started here. We talked
Speaker 3: about how do we keep Fortune five hundred companies from
Speaker 3: leaving Louisville. Well, this one was started here in Louisville,
Speaker 3: so this is it's nice. Hirstborn is great. It's not
Speaker 3: a typical PGA tour. But you're exactly right. The Mike
Speaker 3: Tyson fight that was sold out that made millions of dollars.
Speaker 3: We are a big derby, right, I.
Speaker 1: Still forget that the Mike Tyson fight happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sold out?
Speaker 1: Do I don't you know the guy who put that
Speaker 1: whole thing together this web?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Chris Webb. We used to live in a really
Speaker 4: crappy apartment together and my friends. No, Chris Webb lived
Speaker 4: out of his car in the parking lot of that apartment.
Speaker 1: The apartment complex must be great if people are just
Speaker 1: showing up to live in their car.
Speaker 4: It wasn't that great of a cart of a company.
Speaker 4: Bay wait he took off from that. He just parlayed
Speaker 4: and worked his butt off, and yeah, we bought companies,
Speaker 4: wound up bringing Tyson.
Speaker 3: It was unbelievable.
Speaker 4: If I read with Garth Brooks, I don't know how
Speaker 4: guys like a celebrity man.
Speaker 1: He is well with with that. Remember the Tyson fight again,
Speaker 1: it's I forget that happened. That's one of the national
Speaker 1: events in regards to sports that took place that brought
Speaker 1: so many eyeballs to Louisville. I mean, it's especially considering
Speaker 1: the timing of it with Tyson. But am I wrong?
Speaker 1: Wasn't there some kind of controversy about like there was
Speaker 1: an overseas company that sold they had they had the
Speaker 1: rights to like sell the pay per view in other countries,
Speaker 1: and they never shared the money. I know, I didn't
Speaker 1: dream that. Yes, there was some kind of the people
Speaker 1: who invested to bring this together never got the payoffs
Speaker 1: and because of the different countries, like there was really
Speaker 1: from a court standpoint, there was nothing you could They
Speaker 1: got completely screwed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got soaked on the I'm gonna stay away
Speaker 3: from all that.
Speaker 4: There was another thing. Chris Webb was supposed to get
Speaker 4: the next two fights of either Danny Williams or Tyson,
Speaker 4: and then somehow that contract got screwed.
Speaker 3: Well, and he didn't get the Danny Williams. Isn't Williams stem? Yeah,
Speaker 3: Danny Williams. Uh, well, who wants the Danny Williams thing?
Speaker 3: Mike Tyson?
Speaker 4: After the guy beats Tyson, he was certainly what his
Speaker 4: next couple of fives with Tyson.
Speaker 1: I mean when you did you all watch the Jake
Speaker 1: Paul thing?
Speaker 4: Oh no, it lasted seven hours because buffering.
Speaker 3: Remember I was the only one on the air that
Speaker 3: was saying, he's going Tyson's gonna look awful. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: is going to be an embarrassment. No, he's gonna kill him.
Speaker 3: He's gonna kill Jake Paul. Tyson's eighty years old.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought it was sad the lead up to it,
Speaker 1: and then it Occasionally there'd be something that would give
Speaker 1: you a reminder of what Tyson was, But you know,
Speaker 1: it's twenty five to.
Speaker 3: Thirty years ago now.
Speaker 1: But I think even if he was in better shape
Speaker 1: and Jake Paul wasn't that much younger and clearly at
Speaker 1: least competent in what he does. I still think it
Speaker 1: was going to be clear that Tyson was gonna lay
Speaker 1: down because he was gonna get potentially life changing money
Speaker 1: for his children. I mean it was it was professional wrestling.
Speaker 1: I don't have ever asked you this, what are your thought?
Speaker 1: Not that I don't think you consume his content regularly,
Speaker 1: But Jake Paul, if anything, if there's one word to use,
Speaker 1: that's undeniable successful.
Speaker 3: Oh he's brilliant. The both of them are. These guys,
Speaker 3: they're an easy target, right to make respects right brand,
Speaker 3: They're an easy target. They know that they build something
Speaker 3: out of completely nothing, and they made a YouTube channel
Speaker 3: into millions and millions and millions of dollars, and then
Speaker 3: they they kept adjusting along the way, right, even with
Speaker 3: the hiccups of you know, filming in the suicide forest
Speaker 3: and Japan and all that. So even past that, they
Speaker 3: kept coming up and reinventing themselves. I have all respect
Speaker 3: for them. And all these tough guys want to, you know,
Speaker 3: make fun of them. Good luck that and those guys
Speaker 3: are tough to me.
Speaker 1: Again, it's from the ground up. It's a reminder of
Speaker 1: how much like the content they do. They can go
Speaker 1: in a lot of different directions and it always seems
Speaker 1: to work. And I think there's when you were I
Speaker 1: think what we see in everything they do is genuinely
Speaker 1: who they are. I could be wrong on that, but
Speaker 1: when people sense that they're P. T. Barnum, you attach
Speaker 1: yourself to Yeah. Absolutely, I give them all the credit
Speaker 1: in the world. Creating something from nothing like that has
Speaker 1: got to be credited to them. And you can make
Speaker 1: fun of them all you want with your again easy target,
Speaker 1: but dude, they are successful and really smart, wealthy, wealthy,
Speaker 1: wealthy unlike men and famous, wealth and fame. That sounds fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what's that like. Tony Terry will be in
Speaker 3: at three. We're gonna ask you
Speaker 1: All right, Tony Code up next right here on news
Speaker 1: radio eight forty w h A S.
